The characteristics of plasmonic resonance in a dielectric-sandwiched metamaterial film at visible wavelengths of 650 and 568 nm have been investigated (for both p- and s-polarized light). Our calculated results demonstrate that each mode of plasmonic resonance has maximum resonance strength at a particular film thickness of the metamaterial. We also demonstrated that the effect of evanescent f...

The objectives of this study are to identify and quantify factors that influence radiochromic film dose response and to determine whether such films are suitable for reference dosimetry. The influence of several parameters that may introduce systematic dose errors when performing reference dose measurements were investigated. The effect of the film storage temperature was determined by comparin...

We demonstrate two orders of magnitude enhancement of light absorption in certain thin-film photonic crystal PC architectures due to strong resonances arising from parallel interface refraction PIR . This anomalous type of refraction is acutely negative and usually out of the plane of incidence. Over a wide range of frequencies, light impinging on idealized two-dimensional 2D thin-film photonic...

A new high-sensitivity radiochromic film has been tested for its polarization properties. Gafchromic HS film has been shown to produce a relatively small (less than 3%) variation in the optical density measured at 660 nm wavelength when the light source is fully linear polarized and the film is rotated through a 360 angle. Similar variations are seen when the detector is linearly polarized. If ...

the effect of evaporation rate on structural, morphological and optical properties of electron beam evaporated cds thin films have been investigated. cds thin film deposited by electron beam evaporation method in 12nm/min and 60nm/min evaporation rates on glass substrates. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, uv-vis-nir spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to character...

the use of panoramic radiography, due to its numerous advantages, is increasing. radiographic films used in this technique are of double emulsion (de) type which are used with intensifying screens. single emulsion (se) films can also be used. the purpose of this study was to determine the exposure parameters to achieve an appropriate optical density in these two types of films, and to estimate ...

application of polymers in novel and advanced scientific technologies is increasingly expanding. in this regard, optical polymers among different materials have found a special and unique position. a novel dye doped polymer thin film was prepared by taking advantage of dye molecules' interaction with the host environment. this sample, like self-assembled structures, makes use of this inter...

[email protected] Abstract – The CdO thin films were deposited using NaOH as the complexing agent by Successive Ionic Layer Adsorption and Reaction (SILAR) method. The UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy was used for film characterization. The deposited CdO thin film shows high absorbance in the UV region and low in the visible to near IR region of the spectroscopy. The energy band gap of the deposi...
